OPINION

PER CURIAM:

Margaret M. Adkins appeals her conviction for being a convicted
felon in possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)
(1994). On appeal, Adkins contends that the evidence adduced at trial
was not sufficient to support her conviction and that the district court
violated Fed. R. Evid. 404(b) by allowing certain testimony regarding
her actions and demeanor on the evening of her offense. We have
reviewed the evidence of record and find that it amply supports
Adkins' conviction. See United States v. Hoyte , 

, 1245
(4th Cir. 1995); United States v. Brewer, 

, 1437 (4th Cir.
1993). Adkins' contentions amount to little more than an invitation to
this court to revisit the credibility of the Government's witnesses, a
course of action we routinely decline. See United States v. Murphy,

, 148 (4th Cir. 1994). Neither can we discern any error
stemming from the district court's failure to exclude testimony
describing Adkins' actions and appearance on the evening in ques-
tion. United States v. Powers, 

, 1464-65 (4th Cir. 1995).

Finding no merit to either of Adkins' contentions on appeal, we
affirm the conviction and sentence. We dispense with oral argument
because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the
materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.

AFFIRMED
